+1 - the unadorned rims keep the build from looking too busy and logo-ified (and bonus points for a bike whose primary or secondary accent colors are something other than red - I'm getting tired of the ubiquitous black/red/white. I'm hoping for Burnt Sienna to make a comeback 
). Very nice
). Very nice

The crankset is an SRM power meter. The benefits of it far out weigh any negatives the looks could ever bring.

Once they are proven I would have to say yes.

Not only that, but it is a SRM S-Works crankset. Light, and with power, I think it looks pretty good too. I for one will say, that is one of the hottest Specialized bikes I've ever seen.

Yes, Hot or NOT is a personal opinion filled with bias and personal taste. However, we all have a general idea of what a hot bike and a chitty looking, common, and ridiculously looking bike looks like too.

Contemplating buying an ISP carbon frameset off ebay to replace the 2011 Allez white frameset I have now. The Allez weighs 2375g with the frame, fork, and seatpost while the Ebay frameset would only weigh 1800g......from a hot or not point of view, which should I choose b/c I already know from a WW point of view it is a yes.

Since reading comprehension does not seem to be one of your strong skills, I'll narrow it down for you. First 50 pages have hardly any stupid commentary or obviously ridiculous bikes. Pictures posted of nice bikes and comments "hot or not". Since then, it has been a pile of crappy bikes and pages filled with commentary ranging from ridiculous to stupid. Of course, the nice and hot bike has been sprinkled here and there at a rate of 1 every 6-8 pages!!

Yep...hot...but I have a thing for S-Works. I am so ready to pull the trigger on an S-Works frame, but I am 45yo, I am maybe an A/B rider at best and my current Roubaix is not limiting my ability, speed or skill in the least.
But I want it...and it wouldn't be a big financial burden. I guess there are worse things to blow money on right?
As a side note, where are you guys getting these "Leopard" blueish colored frames? When I look on the site, I am just seeing black/red

I humbly present:
Let me beat you guys to the punch... computer mount, wheel sensor, uncut steerer, spacers, dirty, unraveling bar tape, and if you look closely you can even see the mount for my frame pump!
I'm sure I missed some stuff, so do your worst.
